We got one of those glass teapots as a wedding gift. You put the loose tea in the middle cylinder and pour boiling water through it. Ours has a glass base with an indentation in it that holds a small metal cup for a voltive candle to keep the tea warm. Whenever we can both decide on the same tea we use it, makes wonderful tea and gently keeps it warm. However, we usually don't agree on which tea to drink at the moment and so we have several tea ball, strainer thingies, special spoon shaped tea ball devices so that we can each make a cup of whatever. (STeve loves to go and pick out a selection of teas at the People's Food Co-op. Makes live interesting cause he doesn't always label the bags and you have to guess which is what by smelling them.) This is the time of year that I start thinking about Russian Tea (orange, lemon spiced tea) and will probably make up a batch (as soon as I find the box that is hiding my recipe box or we get a working monitor so that I can access my computer recipe files). Will post the recipe when I do.
